Because I have to do everything the hard way, I'm trying to shape Spin out of a head turn. The first session went pretty well. I have a reliable head turn, and he's just starting to offer to take a step in that direction. I probably won't be posting any of the early videos, though, because they're kind of long and boring.

So I had previously shaped Zinga's right spin from a head toss. However, I never put it on cue and never worked it since then. So our first session was like shaping it all over again, but on fast forward. Very cool to watch if you are planning on free shaping your spin. I add the cue in at the end of the first video. I work it a bit more off camera, just adding the cue in, the second video is putting other cues with the spin cue to help her differentiate her verbals.

Well, it's really re-shaping... we had shaped it once before but never practiced it again. So she picks it up pretty darn fast but the video shows the whole route I took shaping. And ya right, we could never make Boone look bad!!
